Alcohol Samples Being Given Out Fo' Free!

[Mephistophelian 977]

*It is after sunset, and you are walking by on the Anthos highway when you notice a commotion further down the road. Should you chose to investigate, you see a large group of men and women of all shapes, sizes, colours and races, pushing and shoving to get a clear view of a tall, bearded man. Some of the people present seem to be fighting for their lives to get a chance to be near him, silently pushing and shoving people out of the way and grabbing jugs of a green liquid before taking a swig and walking out of the crowd, panting.

All the while, the bearded human in the centre is handing out the same green coloured drink to those around him, and handing each of those people a card after they have drunk the drink.

Should you peer closer, you see a sign that reads:

'Free Nosiop Absinthe, Moon brew and Ale, depending on the time of day (and wether or not the moon is visible, for our Moon Brew)!'

Made by Mister Nosiop and his crew of brewers!

The bearded man in the centre is announcing.*

"To all those who wish for a free drink, come right here! Free samples, of our soon to open brewery! Just come to me and I will give you your drink and our address card so that you may buy more later!"

*should you decide to walk up to this warm and inviting man, he will hand you the green, lime yellow or dark blue drink (green for absinthe, lime yellow for the ale and dark blue for Moon Brew) and pat you on the back, keeping an eye on you so that he can give you his address card after you have had the drink.*

((Just RP your character doing what they do, and if they drink the Absinthe, Moon brew or Ale, I'll pm you so that we can RP me giving you the card etc etc, as that will spam up the chat if I keep RPing it.))

*the alcohol seems to be very strong, as people who have tasted it are stumbling around, smiling blissfully at each other, not speaking, almost as if words aren't needed after having drunk such a thing.*

((Edit: post number 200! Woohoo!))

*The sign changes due to the time of day. In the morning, they are selling Ale, and in the afternoon, Absinthe*

Never one to turn down a drink (free or other wise) Posco happily takes a jug, laughing a cheery little Halfling laugh all the while. Not long after taking his sample, Posco hands back the empty jug and chuckles.

"We .. well 'ha' ain' -hic- bad fer a Biggun ale! Anuder un fer thirsty ol' Posco 'eh?"

[Mephistophelian 977]

*The bearded man smiles at Posco and winks, handing him a card which has been dipped in an odd solution.*

Boyko Shortstraw begins to waddle his way forwards, every bit of his Halfling chubbiness moves about as he takes on of the drinks. Boyko begins to chug the ale, as it rushes like a golden waterfall into his mouth. "Eh, could use more 'alflin' in it." 

[Mephistophelian 977]

*The bearded man smiles and winks at Boyko, handing him yet another card dipped in odd solution.*

"Drink up, fine halfling! Drink up!"

*As more and more people come back for more, the man smiles, and mumbles to himself.*

"I hope they won't regret drinking this stuff when they wake up next mornin'! Bloody strong, I say! Any stronger and it could kill!"

*he chuckles at this inside joke, handing more of the green absinthe and lime yellow ale to those are just arriving, tapping each person on their back and winking at them, the most welcoming man on the Anthos highway.*

Christopher de Rosaen, just returning from his long travel to Malinor. Sees that there is free alcohol samples, ready to be taken.

He considers his options, Christopher is the man of high wine. Yet, why can't he try the drink commoners always buy? With a nod he takes some ale and drinks it, while afterwards spitting it out "This is nothing like high wine, no wonder why only commoners drink that".

In the hope that he won't get backstabbed because of his comment, Christopher continues to travel forward to his next destination.

*the bearded man shakes his head sadly as he sees Christopher de Rosaen travelling away. He mutters to himself.*

"Poor old sod won't know how bad he's gonna turn up after doing that..."

*giving one of the people in the crowd (one that hasn't drunk yet) a letter, the bearded man tells the crowd member to run after Christopher and tell Mr De Rosaen to run back as if his life depended on it. The crowd member looks at the letter, already sealed, and blinks twice before running to Christopher.*

One day later, Christopher has a nice suprise for the bearded man, as a messenger arrives with a letter.

[Mephistophelian 977]

*The bearded man will receive the letter a few days after this event*

((That's just because this event is all meant to happen at around the same time, if you get what I mean :) ))

[Mephistophelian 977]

*The bearded man is now giving out another drink: Nosiop Moon Brew. He puts up a sign stating that this ale is the strongest of all the drinks being offered, but is only offered on nights when the moon is visible.*

[Mephistophelian 977]

*looking at Boyko, passed out on the floor, the bearded man tuts.*

"Said it wasn't strong, eh?"

[Major Tom 139]

Posco sways about, blinking and mumbling to himself. He pauses for a moment then sluggishly sticks his hand into his pocket, and fishes out a bag of minas. The little drunk Halfling slowly hands the bearded man the bag, and proceeds to stumble about the area, mumbling something under hi breath and swatting at the air.

[Mephistophelian 977]

*the bearded man looks at Posco, smiling, before giving him a mug full of a red substance. He whispers to Posco.*

"I am sure you will find this...refreshing..."

((Did you pay the money in game? Also, make sure your character has a swig of that red drink, he will... Love it. Thanks for being a good sport, too :D ))
